Habitat

The Gampassa was a species of turtle native to the planetGlee Anselm's oceans. Their skin was wrinkled and gray, while their bodies were round and elongated. A ponderous head and tiny tail grew from the creature's front and backside, respectively. The turtles had six pointed flippers, the two forelegs growing longer than the others. At least one Gampassa was 2,310 meters long, and the species' large size allowed for the Nautolans, another of Glee Anselm's native species, to use their shield-like shells as locations for their villages. Alternatively emerging above and submerging below the ocean every couple of centuries, different generations of native Nautolans would either be born above or below water.

The Gampassa, a species of turtle, had wrinkled, gray skin and a rounded, oblong body that included a brown shield shell. The creatures had six triangular flippers that ended in points; these limbs were situated symmetrically on both the left and right sides, and their forelegs grew much longer than the others. A short tail adorned the species' anterior, and nostrils were located between the eyes on the creatures' bulbous heads.[2] At least one specimen was 2,310 meters long.[1]

Members of the Gampassa species swam in their homeworld's oceans such that their shells stuck out of the water like islands,[2] and every couple of centuries they would submerge themselves below the ocean's surface.[3]

The Gampassa species was native to the oceans of[2] the Mid Rim[4]planetGlee Anselm. Due to the creatures' enormous size, the Nautolans, another native species of Glee Anselm, used the species' shells as locations for their villages,[2] complete with landing platforms built atop the shells. Every couple of centuries, the turtles would alternate with going above or below the ocean level, and entire generations of the species' native Nautolans would either be born above or below water accordingly.[3]
